A walkthrough of deploying a Phoenix app to a VPS using Potions.io, a deployment tool built by the author that handles zero-downtime releases, SSL, PostgreSQL provisioning, environment variables, and migrations automatically. The tutorial covers creating a new Phoenix app, preparing it for release with mix phx.gen.release, pushing to GitHub, and deploying via Potions. It also demonstrates using Tidewave (an AI coding assistant for Elixir) to build a memory-style guessing game, then shipping updates via auto-deploy on git push. Key Potions features highlighted include preview domains, custom domain support with automatic SSL, scheduled database backups, and an in-browser remote IEx console.
